I gotta problem here.
Just viewed my first full encode in bitrate viewer. Q-Curve is a straight line, average is exactly 2.0 and that's great. But...
I got Bitrate Peaks of 14.363kb/sec
I'm pretty sure that my DVD Player won't play these scenes am I right? How can I make the encoder to stay under 8000kb/sec at the peaks.
But damn the movie looks great...
EDIT: In fact I see now the bitrate also drops under 300kb/sec in some scenes.

I think you're right.

The min/max bitrate setting is one of the issue Kwag asked to Milan, but didn't have receive an answer yet.

We need to write a "Bitrate Clipper/Trimmer" utility

Because CBR with with codec is actually VBR. If you have a look at the screenshots from bitrate viewer in the other thread you can see that the bitrate varies alot, it isn't constant
With CBR, we are able to adjust the Buffer Size and the final size easier and the quality is higher due to higher bitrate variation.

ehr,Guys?
My Q curve still looks like a sawblade...
Could someone help me with it?
My settings match Kwag's at the begining of this sticky.
I'm running ffvfw from 2004.
Thanks

More "moutain landscape" than "regular zigzag" nor "heartbeat".

Phil, did you try once to change EVERY quantizer to the same value like
min: I =2 , P=2, B=2
max: I= 2, P=2, B=2

What do you think ?
I even changed the "macroblock" part (the one that is greyed by default).
By the way it's not very a problem because when I set min=max=2 for instance, the value is always UNDER 2 and never OVER. So the minimal quality I ask is never bypassed.
But as I told, this behaviour mask a serious problem in the codec that we have to solve if we want to continue to share our experience on this.
What is the value of comparisons between Kwag results and mine if the behaviour of the codec is completly different on its PC and mine ?
Beacause I repeat : I NEVER HAD a constant Q curve like you have.
Note : ASAP I will DL the common sources proposed in an other thread to see if I can reach the same results a yours or Kwag's on the same video.

I totally agree cause if for example the curve gets down on dark or plain scenes ..... thats the reason why blocks do come out on surfaces.
Do a try on a movie with underwaterscenes and watch on these scenes the bitrateviewer curve ... I think it will fall down.

Watch my statements in there according to that workout sample "emotion.mpg", but thats only IMHO.

I don't want to use interlaced also. That's why I didn't DL this source as soon as I saw that, even before your first post about that

I've never touched this. I use default value and mine Q-Curve is flat. Try set it back to dafault, or reinstal ffvfw (it's only sugestion, i don't know is this will work).

I didn't mentioned but I have that on my 2 PCs and the second one didn't have any codec installed before.
BTW, I dropped for a while this codec, results are too poor comparing to the efforts and I don't have the time for the moment.

I've a problem. Why can't I set in the field "Encoders" only Xvid & uncompressed?
How can I set it to MPG-2?

Would love to show you guys but I don't know how to post a pic...
I guess I need some web space but unfortunately I don't know where to get some. I mean free...
I must say that I already uninstalled both ffvfw and ffdshow and reinstalled both...
Same results.
Don't know what to do. I thought it would have somehow something to do with PAL sources.
But you don't experience this problem, do you Inc?
Cheers

Hi rds_correia,
it has definitely nothing to do with PAL as we both haven't had this problem.
Have you tried different sources
Maybe your registry entrys got screwed up, but i recommended this also to Phil and he said that this appeared on his clean second pc.
Or maybe it's the bitrate viewer (as i don't trust it always)
